DVD Review: Zombie Unbrained – 12 Film Flesh Feast

A 12 pack of zombie galore! Folks, it is a mix of zombie films and those of the unliving, in case the rather cool cover confused you. Though don’t let that discourage you as there are some legitimate gems on this collection. “Carnival of Souls” is an old favorite (that should be experienced at least once by every horror fan). “The Last Man on Earth” is an old Vincent Price classic that mixes the genre of vampires and zombies. While “Night of the Living Dead” is pretty much found in every multi film pack these days, that is not to say that you shouldn’t pick it up whether solo or packaged.

“White Zombie” another classic, while “Oasis of the Zombies” was one that literally put me to sleep.Â For the record, films that bring on a lethargic sensation have been used from time to time to assist in those late “insomniac” hours.

From the listings, it looks like most on here are of the old school horror markets, but with names like Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi on the roster, you really can’t go wrong. Undead, zombies, unliving…take your pick… there has never been quite a fascination with the dead as there is today. Pick this one up from the fine folks at Mill Creek Entertainment!
